4.5
The writing style of this book was so Wonderlandian and nonsensical. The witty use of words and made up words absolutely captured my attention. This story was so sweet and so heartfelt. My only gripe is the few moments where the author decided to emphasize Alice’s growing up by talking about her breasts. I feel like that could’ve been done in a much better way, especially as a male author writing a young female character. That part felt very odd to me, and not in a good way. Otherwise, this book was an amazing read and definitely a tearjerker.
